Application filed October4, 1928. Serial No. 310,217.

This invention relates to improvements in hair wavers adapted tor application to hair for imparting a wave thereto.

Objects.

Among the principal objects which themvention has in vieware: to provide an article of light weight; to construct the article for convenient application in service; to provide a novel and improved pivot for use in connection with the members thereof; to reduce the number of parts; and to simplify and cheapen the construction.

Desme'ption.

In detail, the invention is embodied in a construction which comprises a member 10, preferably composed of a wire-like element of light weight, such as aluminum. The element is pivoted as at 11 to another member which is also composed of a wire-like ele ment, of a light metal such as aluminum, having an end loop, 13, and spaced parallel portions, 12, extending therefrom. The ends of these parallel portions terminate in cons it in proximity and adjacent to each other. The pivoted end or" the element 10 also terminates in a coil 15, and'a rivet 16 is extended through the coils and is headed over to maintain and retain the coils together as shown inFigure 3 and to form a pivot for the two membersof the waver. The two members are adapted to swing relative to each other on this pivot and may open up shown in Figure 2 or close as shown in Figure 4. V V

[The loop end 13 preferably extends obliquely to the parallel portion 12 and has arched portions 17 approaching each other at the entrance through which the free end of the element 10 is snapped, when moved to closed position into the loop. The arched portions form a resilient lock for maintaining the parts in closed or locked'position as shown in Figure 4-. The-tree end of element 10 is also deflected as at 18 to facihtate 1ts entry and maintenance in the loop 13 in respect to the parallel portions so that the member 10 1s elevated'with respect to portions, 12, when the waver is closed. The parallcl portions and member, 10, are also preterably curved or bowed, as shown in Figure 4:, and the curvature of 10 is somewhat greater than that of the portions, 12. I I

In the application the waver to the hair in practise the two members of the waverare opened up as shown Figure 2 and the hair is arranged neatly over the member 10., The members are now moved on the pivot into closed or locked position, the part 10 passing betweenthe spaced parallel portions 12 and the hair istormed into a Wave asindicated in Figure 5, extending over the part 101and under the portions 12. The hair waver may be lefton tie, hairand as it is locked in its closed position, there is no danger of the hair loosening or the .waverfalling out of thehair. Thewaver may be retained in the hair for any desired time ,and'until the wave has been acquired in the hair.

The construction described is character izedu its Slll'l .city, cheapness, light-weight and eihciency in service. The nov'el pivotconstruction is a niceteatur'e as itprovides for simplicity, rigidity. and produces a sturdy light article. The invention also provides for a construction of relatively few.

parts, andthere is little danger or the becoming disassembled in service.

I claim: 4

1. An article of the class described comprising aiieinber formed of a wire like element bent to form an end loop with parallel portionsextending from said end loop and terminating in adgacent coiled ends, a second member having a coiled end POSltIODGtl' be tween the coiled ends of the first member, a

rivet extending through all of said coiled ends" for maintaining the same attached as in service and providing a "pivot, said members beparts extending obliquely from the parallel por-' tions, and said rivet being raised with respect to said parallel portions, so that the second .member has an elevated position with respect to the parallel portions When in looking engagement With the loop. v

2. An article of the class described com prising a member'formed of a Wire like element bent to form an'cnd loop with parallel portions extending from said end loop and terminating in adjaeent ooiled ends, a second member having a coiled end positioned be tween the coiled ends of the first member and terminating in an oblique locking portion, a rivet extending through all of said co led ends for maintaining the same attached as in service and providing a pivot, saidmembers being adapted for relatlve pivotal movement on said rivet so that the second member may be moved between the parallel portions of the firstmember and its obliquely extending the loop.
